ABSTRACT
The RING finger (RNF) family, a group of E3 ubiquitin ligases, plays multiple essential roles in the regulation of innate immunity and resistance to viral infection in mammals. However, it is still unclear whether RNF proteins affect the production of IFN-I and the replication of avian influenza virus (AIV) in ducks. In this article, we found that duck RNF216 (duRNF216) inhibited the duRIG-I signaling pathway. Conversely, duRNF216 deficiency enhanced innate immune responses in duck embryonic fibroblasts. duRNF216 did not interacted with duRIG-I, duMDA5, duMAVS, duSTING, duTBK1, or duIRF7 in the duck RIG-I pathway. However, duRNF216 targeted duTRAF3 and inhibited duMAVS in the recruitment of duTRAF3 in a dose-dependent manner. duRNF216 catalyzed K48-linked polyubiquitination of duck TRAF3, which was degraded by the proteasome pathway. Additionally, AIV PB1 protein competed with duTRAF3 for binding to duRNF216 to reduce degradation of TRAF3 by proteasomes in the cytoplasm, thereby slightly weakening duRNF216-mediated downregulation of IFN-I. Moreover, although duRNF216 downregulated the IFN-ß expression during virus infection, the expression level of IFN-ß in AIV-infected duck embryonic fibroblasts overexpressing duRNF216 was still higher than that in uninfected cells, which would hinder the viral replication. During AIV infection, duRNF216 protein targeted the core protein PB1 of viral polymerase to hinder viral polymerase activity and viral RNA synthesis in the nucleus, ultimately strongly restricting viral replication. Thus, our study reveals a new mechanism by which duRNF216 downregulates innate immunity and inhibits AIV replication in ducks. These findings broaden our understanding of the mechanisms by which the duRNF216 protein affects AIV replication in ducks.
